A Denial.

LONDON, March 9.-Commander Chad
wick, United States naval attache in Lon
don, had an interview this morning. with
Vice Admiral VIM. Graham, comptroller
ofthe navy, at the admiralty office in rela-
ton to the statements that D~raughtsman
Terry, who had been dismissed from The
Chatham navy yard had revealed secrets
OF naval designs to the American legation.
The comptroller said that they we're mere
ly newspaper assertions and that so far as
the stories connected anybody in the leea-
ton with ~dockyards treachery they were
utterly false. All that the admiralty
knew was that Terry had sold to private
persons designs which he had gained pos
session of by reason of his position in gov
eminent employ. Mr.. White. secretary
of the American legation, has emphasized
the denials that any British naval plans
have been obtained by any underhand
methods.

Of Missouri, chairman of the committee
on labor called upon the president to-
day and asked him concerning the arbi-
tration bill and the bill prohibiting the
employment of alien labor and the use

works, both of which bills he failed to
sign. The president said, with reference
to the arbitration bill, that he was strong
ly in favor of Legislation upon the subject.

sufficient.

rather confused and that it could be bet
ter created in separate bills. He ex-
pressed his earnest desire to aid labor leg
~islation, and the result of the interview

ton of a carefully prepared bill for the

The Dead Divine.

New York, March Arrangements
for the funeral of the late Henry Ward
Beecher are not yet completed, but it has
been decided that it shall be a public one.
but the service at the house shall be of a
strictly private nature, in compliance
with the wish of the family. The serv-
ices will be conducted at the house by DR..
G. Fl. Hall, of the church of Trinity, an
old friend of the famous preacher. None
but the family will be admitted to these
services, which will be of the simplest ma
ture. The body will be escorted to Ply
mouth church at the close of the family
funeral service by the 18th regiment of
Brooklyn, of which Beecher was chap
lain. The regiment will then pass the
body, which will be laid in front of the
platform. The regiment will then be
dismissed and will leave company G.,
which is known as Plymouth company
and is composed chiefly of members from
Beecher's congregation. to remain on
guard while the body is laid in state in
the church. The church will remain
open all day Thursday and Friday and
the members of the congregation will
have the privilege OF passing before the
body. On Friday the church will be-
thrown open to the public. This course
has been rendered necessary in conse-
quence Of the extent of the circle Of
friends and admirers OF the divine. The
citizens committee, of which ex-Mayor
Seth Low is chairman, will have charge
of the body until the interment on Satur-
day.
Brooklyn buildings to day are draped
in mourning. Municipal buildings and
the court house, public buildings and
stores are being heavily draped in black.
Many private residences are also draped.
Nearly every prominent organization in
the city of Brooklyn has met and passed
resolutions expressive of grief in the loss
of the eminent divine. The public
schools will probably be closed on the day
of the funeral. Many merchants intend
10 close their stores.
The body vas embalmed to-day. The
face was not pinched, but it had lattened
out much. Mrs. Beecher was taken out
by a friend for a drive this afternoon, but
she soon returned, thoroughly exhausted.
Fears are entertained that she will not
long survive her husband.

The Ordnance Bureau.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Touching
the failure of congress to pass the fortif
cation appropriation bill. Gen. Benet,
chief Of ordnance. to-day said that the re-
suit is to leave the fortiication and ord
nance works in a works in a worse shape
than they were after adjournment last
session. AT that time there were a few
flag ends of appropriations available;
but now the ordnance bureau and engi-
neer corps must come to a full stop, so
far as concerning the construction of guns
and Notifications. The engineer corps,
said the general, has about surrendered
its military functions and has been re-
solved into a body of civilians, devoting
all its time to river and harbor improve
ments Two l2-inch riled cannon, cast
iron, strengthened with steel, have been
laying for months incomplete in the
South Boston shops, congress having
failed to Inappropriate n sufficient sum
of money out of the amount already au-
thorized to be expended, to put them in
serviceable condition. There is no ex-
pectation among ordnance officers that
congress will pass the ratification appro-
priation bill before the closing days of
the next congress, and during the next
fifteen months there will not be funds
available to pay even the watchmen at
Notifications without the garrisons.

sick several days, but his companions did
Lot deem it necessary to call physician un-

death relieved him. The disease was enter

funeral took place Sunday afternoon, Rev.
Osmond, officiating, and the remains were
buried about mile southeast of town, near
the railroad track. From papers it was
learned that the home of the deceased was at
jamestown, N. Y. The man was compare.
lively unknown here, and as it was, his
death was sad thing. Several of the com
panions he worked with performed the last
sad offices of preparing the body for inter.
ment, and large number of our people were
present at the funeral services.
